Marisabel Gonzalez—born in 1973 in Caracas, Venezuela, and currently working and residing in Sydney, Australia—is a contemporary artist examining visual narratives in abstract painting, focusing on the emotional aspect of human nature, the psychological effect of color and its possibilities as an effective tool for communication.

 Marked by the use of bright colors, mark-making, gestural interventions, and the use of text, Gonzalez’s playful and bold abstract compositions are rooted in her background in medical imaging. Think of her mark-making, which is led by the echo patterns of an ultrasound monitor. A unique correlation between the process of painting and medical imaging can be found in the process of back-and-forth, question-and-answer.  As a result, the Sydney-based artist lays down compositions consisting of various layers, capturing a wide range of motions and emotions. Her works feel light, presenting day-to-day narratives from a playful and abstract perspective, inviting the viewer to participate and converse.

 Marisabel Gonzalez has had various solo exhibitions in Sydney (AU) accompanied by a solo presentation in Düsseldorf (DE). She has participated in institutional group exhibitions, encompassing the Manly Art Gallery and Museum in Sydney (AU), the Parliament House of NSW in Sydney (AU), ASD Den Haag (NL), and the Sydney Breast Cancer (AU). Gonzalez received various recognitions, including being selected as a finalist at the Paddington Art Prize in Sydney (AU), the Bluethumb Art Prize (AU), and a past residency at the Bushwick South Studio Residency Program in Sydney (AU). As a result, Marisabel Gonzalez is collected by national and international private collectors and public collections such as the Barclays Private Bank in Sydney (AU), the Stiftung Kleine Kunstdialog West/Ost in Düsseldorf (DE), and the AXICORP Corporate Collections in Singapore (SG) and London (UK).
